IndigenousWays Festival

The IndigenousWays Festival is back! They’re hosting three unique events showcasing leading Indigenous musicians, artisans, drummers, along with wisdom keepers, weavers and other performers.

Founding member of Native American a cappella group, Ulali – Pura Fé (Tuscarora/Taino) headlines our last event. Pure Fé blends her Southern Indigenous influences with her ancestral African soul-filled lineage and continues to reshape performance as ceremony. Native blues virtuoso, Wade Fernandez, (Menominee) lives music and breathes life into under resourced communities with his story telling through songs, and engages audiences of all generations. Opening the evening is Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) graduate, Simona Rael (Latina), who will grace us with her original compositions with family band, and an ensemble of IAIA students modeling her line of fashion designs.
